Reconsider buffing Blue Kayn
https://www.surrenderat20.net/2019/03/319-pbe-update-new-skins-chroma-and-more.html
Shadow Step (E) cooldown increased from 21/19/17/15/13 to 22/20/18/16/14 E cooldown is now 50% lower in Shadow Assassin form.
Yeah. So. Anyone whose ever encountered Blue Kayn..... knows exactly what he does:
He gains 30% extra damage as Magic, so he does hybrid damage, hard to defend from. He creates a Shadow that W's instead of him. 900 Range He gains 80% movement speed while Shadow step is active, AND becomes immune to Slows.
Now...... they are wanting to add this.
Blue Kayn is nearly an instant win champion when a team builds a poke team, enchanter team..... any team not built of bruiser junglers/mids/tops.
To illustrate what this change does on 40% CDR:
His MAX cooldown will be 11 seconds. His Min Cooldown will be 4.2 Seconds (14 seconds halved to 7, reduced by 40%)
4.2 Second cooldown on a wall walking skill that lasts for up to 9 seconds...... and can skip through 2 walls.
I know Blue Kayn is not as popular as the self sustaining red form. But, he is FAR more powerful in raw stats/game influence.
Anyone whose played
knows exactly what I'm talking about. She literally has no counterplay to Blue Kayn. His W will hit her if she tries to Q or R, and if she doesn't, he reaches her anyways, and can literally 1 shot her because of her low HP base. She can be on the other side of a lane and Kayn can STILL reach her, because of how far Shadow Step puts him out before it ends.
There are quite a few champs that Blue Kayn can 1 shot, even when not fed.
I'd like to know what other people think about this.
